Peach Raspberry Galette

It’s time for another episode of Mystery Dish! Our host for this month’s Mystery ingredients was Meriem from Culinary Coutoure. She gave us a very fun basket with these ingredients: peaches, cheddar cheese, green beans, corn, chicken, nectarines, butter, pecans, heavy cream, pesto, coconut milk/cream and challenged us to use at least three in our recipes.

I love peaches very much so I knew I had to break out the peach recipes for the season with this basket of ingredients. However there was one slight problem…I live with one of those people who think peaches are ‘bleh‘. Do you have certain foods that your significant other dislikes? (My hands are in the air!) And do you make these foods anyway?

My husband doesn’t like seafood (so frustrating!) so I don’t get to cook any at home since even the smell bothers him. I always get my fix by ordering salmon or scallop dishes at restaurants. He also doesn’t like peaches. But I refuse to let him prevent me from enjoying one of my favorite stone fruits. Individual peach cobblers, crisps or nectarine concoctions are my “I want some me time” desserts. Now this peach raspberry galette is added to the list!

With every Mystery Dish challenge I push myself to go beyond the ingredients and recipe creation challenge and try something new (baking technique wise) like this panna cotta. This was my first time making a galette and I should say I’m quite in love with them. The rustic, laissez-faire look is appealing and was perfect for our afternoon picnic I brought it to. Sadly (or not!) I was the only one who enjoyed it.

Galettes taste just like pies but they are less delicate and easy to deal with than pies. You get all the benefits of a pie (buttery crust, juicy filling and complete satisfaction) without the fuss and stress of pie baking. This peach raspberry galette is a summer fruit galore with juicy peaches, nectarines and bold raspberries wrapped in buttery, flaky crust. Just simply amazing!

2-3 firm ripe peaches (make sure they are firm so they hold their shapes during baking)

1 firm ripe nectarine

½ cup raspberries

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

¼ cup brown sugar

½ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour

1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water

2 tablespoons turbinado sugar for sprinkling

DIRECTIONS

To make crust: combine all the ingredients in a food processor. Process a few times until butter is about the size of a pea. With processor on, slowly drizzle in ice cold water to mixture, one tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together. Remove dough from bowl and pat down into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour.

Cut peaches in half, remove pit and slice each half into 6 slices. In a large bowl, combine peaches and vanilla extract. Add in brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornstarch. Gently mix to combine. Fold in the raspberries.

When dough is chilled, roll out into a 12 inch circle. (I rolled mine onto a well floured parchment to make transfer easy). Transfer to a baking sheet.

Spoon the fruits into the center of the crust, leaving 2-3 inch borders. Fold up the sides, gently tucking in over the fruit in a folding/pleating pattern. Transfer dough to freezer and let chill for 15 minutes.

I cannot believe he doesn’t like peaches or seafood? *gasp* They have to be two of my favorite foods ever! Add in a buttery crust and some sugar and I’m in dessert heaven ooooh yes! This galette looks absolutely gorgeous. I’m really liking the raspberry addition!
Hope you have a wonderful week! 🙂

Our husbands must have been separated at birth. Mine hates seafood and the smell so I only make it on nights he is out with his friends. Ditto for anything with peaches. I love the idea of making a galette as one does not have to fuss with the crust formation as much as a traditional pie crust. I think I will try this one and share it with those who appreciate peaches. 🙂

Every time I see one of these types of galettes I swoon! They look so impressive for not that much effort (relatively, anyway). The peach-raspberry combo sounds just divine – that’s definitely what I would choose to put in my galette!
P.S. My hubby can’t eat prawns and I find that pretty frustrating, too. He also has an aversion to couscous but yes, I do still cook it! 😉

This galette looks wonderful, Zainab! I have never made a galette, but I’ve always wanted to. I love the peach + raspberry combo that you went with. So summery! I, unfortunately, am definitely one of those people who doesn’t like random foods that everyone else likes. Haha. But hey, more galette for you! 🙂

Peaches is the one for me too, but only canned peaches, Fresh are divine. I’m also a big fan of necterines too. I hate how peaches and necterines are known as granny foods. Totally wrong perspective because this galatte looks amazing. Raspberries are my utter favourite.

Thanks Lisa!! I saw it but totally didn’t read the recipe instead proceed to pin and admire 🙂 My trackbacks not working well either because I just got a pingback today from an Easter roundup someone linked to me…uhmmm that was in March!

I don’t think I could be with someone who doesn’t love seafood as much as I do. Chinese people freaking love seafood. All of our banquets are like, 90% shellfish. I feel for ya, girl! As for peaches – I can’t even tell you how much I love them. I gobble as many as I can every summer when they’re fresh ‘n local. This galette is so pretty and that crust is PERFECT! At least you don’t have to share, right? 😉

Oh yeah, African food is full of fish!! We eat fish in everything so trust me when I say it is a problem living with this man and his lack of seafood. Let’s just say sometimes he eats fish without knowing it because I am too tired to make two separate dishes always. He hasn’t died yet 😉

This galette looks gorgeous! I agree – -the galette gives you all the benefits of a pie with none of the headaches. Peach and raspberry is one of my favorite combinations; the flavors are so summery and fresh! My husband is the same way about bananas that your husband is about peaches. He hates banana desserts. oh well — more for me!

I am sucker for any type of crust, especially pie-like crust, and this looks amazing!! Also, I can’t believe your husband doesn’t like peaches!! On the plus side, at least you got to enjoy this dessert all to yourself! Can’t wait to try this!!

You did an awesome job with these ingredients Zainab, loving this galette, definitely need to try it. I love the rustic look of it and that you can add basically anything you want in it make it sweet or savory. But after seeing this I’m thinking sweet is the way to go!
